HBT: Posey re-ups with Giants for one year

What does a 25-year-old reigning MVP get in his first year of arbitration eligibility?

Apparently $8 million, which is what Buster Posey and the Giants settled on for a one-year contract to avoid arbitration.

As a ?Super Two? player Posey has four years of arbitration eligibility rather than the usual three, so he remains under the Giants? control through 2016.

The one-year deal is mostly just a formality to avoid a hearing, but Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com writes that the two sides will probably talk about a multi-year deal at some point before spring training begins.
